VIZIO 2.0 Home Theater Sound Bar... vs VIZIO M-Series 5.1.2 Home Theate...

Video shows some of the functions of the sound bar and also the dts volume leveling. Design is simple, this is a device to be heard anyway. I like the visual cues to let you know volume levels and other settings.

The only critique i have is that the sound will occasionally cut out. It sound great when i play music on bluetooth. Little iffy to hookeup but only took few minutes to figure it out.

Set up is so easy - it will run off usb/hdmi, optical, blue tooth, and one other i can't remember - works with fire stick and alexa to boot! Connected the sound bar to samsung tv.

At 20” long it fits nicely under my 40” 4k vizio tv. The bar is basically designed to sit on a stand or desk in front of or beneath the tv. The 20inch sound bar is perfect for my 40 inch 4k vizio v-series.

It took forever to set up with tv (not a smart tv) and try all the various ways and settings to get it connected with aux cable. It's possible that the problem is the aux cable, but i'm using the one provided with the soundbar so it's defective either...  Read More

The surround channels and subwoofer are easy to link and require minimal wiring. Movies sound very good with generous surround effects. I particularly love scenes with storms or aircraft/helicopters flying above, with the uplifting speakers extremely ...  Read More

This unit has both bluetooth, and a 3. Mm headphone jack. Only thing i don't like is u need a usb to update since it doesn't have wifi.

Even without the surround speakers, this sound bar blows the sony out of the water. The surround speakers aren't anything special but they do add to the experience. The top firing speakers make a big difference, but it’s not the “bubble of sound’ effe...  Read More

Customer service is next to impossible to deal with (or understand) why they are selling products that become outdated after 7 months and need updates is beside me. Some proprietary part that could not be found anywhere. That's not how you treat loyal...  Read More

There's a software update available on vizio's website, but the support section and support staff are so poor that you just have to google vizio m512a-h6 firmware update to find it. It frequently disconnects my phone from bt midsong & won't reconn...  Read More
